“All the men that like me are gay. It’s true. I have a really strong gaydar. I do love gay men though.”

Oddly, this is her response to a fawning opening gambit from Gordon. So Smart told Beckham how much he liked her, and Beckham replied "only gay men like me, ooh, I could pick out a gay at five hundred yards, I could." It seems to have flown over Smart's head, though.

Indeed, it flew over by quite a distance, as Gordo headlines his scoop:

Posh: Only gay guys fancy me

Now, Gordon, let's go through this again, shall we? Gay men. Woman. Do you think that headline might have a bit of a flaw built into it?

But then Gordon does managed to get himself even more knotted. Having thought he heard Victoria say that she was only sexually attractive to men, he remembered she was married to a man:

I could argue that BECKS boils beyond metrosexual from time to time.

Is Gordon suggesting that he thinks that David Beckham is kinda gay?

He isn’t shy of a spot of nail polish, the occasional sarong and a bit of body waxing.

As if suddenly becoming aware of what he was saying, Gordon pulls back:

But he has fathered three more children than me.

Is Gordon really unaware that many gay men are fathers? And is he suggesting that only parenthood is a sign of heterosexuality? And did he really sit down thinking about his 'is Becks gay' fantasy before thinking 'nah, hang on - he's got kids, hasn't he?'

Never has the phrase 'Gordon Smart's Bizarre' been apt.

Gordon, Gordon, you seem to have spent an awful lot of time dreaming about the possibility of David Beckham being gay. You'd better re-establish your blokey credentials quick. Have you got something to say about the new shots from the James Bond set?:

[Daniel Craig] looks good in his signature 007 whistle but even better sporting his rugged gear...
